Know before you buy
While these jars are designed for home canning, please note that the USDA does not recommend water bath canning for half-gallon jars due to their size and heat penetration limitations. They are best suited for dry storage, refrigerator pickles, or decorative projects.
No, these jars are not rated for freezer or microwave use. The glass can crack under extreme temperature fluctuations, so they should be kept at room temperature.
Yes, each of the six jars comes with a matching two-piece closure system, which includes the flat lid and the screw-on band.
These jars are not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing them with warm, soapy water to preserve the integrity of the glass and the finish of the lids.
The wide-mouth opening makes these jars significantly easier to fill and clean compared to standard-mouth versions. It is particularly helpful when packing larger items like whole fruits, pickles, or bulk dry goods.
